The throttle on my 1999 chevrolet ls 1500 is sticking everytime I take off from a start, this is making it dangerous to the point that I am pussing on the gas with extreme pressure.
1999 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 acceleration complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 18 of 18, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The accelerator pedal had become stuck when shifted from park to drive or reverse. *jb one has to push hard on the pedal to get the vehicle to move, which caused sudden acceleration. Scc
The accelerator would stick on occasions, which would cause the vehicle to lurch foward, the dealer infomred consumer, that the entire throttle body would need to be replaced. Ts
The ABS pump started running when I started the truck the only way to get it to stop is to pull the fuse. The power window on driverside will go down a little then stop, you have to keep pushing on the button to get it all the way down which takes a lot of time, same way when you go to put it back up. The throttle sticks when you go to accelerate, did it a little new now does it a lot. I have contacted gm they said that the truck is to old know for them to do anything about it. I have heard that other owners have had the same problems but theres occured while under warranty
When pressing the gas pedal it is really hard and won't go down, then, consumer states unexpectedly gas pedal will go to floor from all pressure, and vehicle goes flying. Consumer contacted dealer, and dealer said throttle body needed servicing.
Whenever driving and gas pedal was applied, it would stick every time. Then, it would suddenly catch and jerk vehicle. Would be no warning. Been to dealership twice for problem. First time informed it would work itself out. Second time was informed a lot complaints on gas pedal sticking. Problem not readily resolved.
Accelerator pedal hanged up, and consumer had to jump on the accelerator for vehicle to move. Did not know if it was going to take off suddenly or take off slowly. Consumer felt it was a safety hazard.
Thottle restriction causes air to get into the distrubution/duct and into space to the right of the thottle pedal. Consumer shoe or tie gets caught undereath the air duct. Also, the parking brake released, causing vehicle to travel completely to the off position.
